I just got the new CWM recovery update through Rom Manager today, and it said it was successfully flashed, but the phone only hangs on the HTC logo when goingto recovery. I can still do fastboot and boot to Android tho, so I'm now gonna try to figure out how to get my recovery back before something bad happes xD
anyone have advice or know where I can download a standalone copy of CWM 5.0.0.1 for G2?
Wish me luck I'll keep updating as things progress
okipokey, solved my own issue. Just had to reflash back to an older recovery and try again a couple times before it stuck.
Time to test out the new recovery!
I decided to flash the upgrade as well. The flash went perfectly. However, I couldn't boot into recovery while within Android. I had to power off and boot into the bootloader and then select recovery... Whenever I tried to reboot to recovery via the Android UI, it restarted and hung at the boot splash screen.. It didn't even work if you selected the option from the ROM Manager itself... I rolled back to previous version as well and its working again. It may be a bug... Early adopters nightmare....
Same here just reinstalled the new version and it worked second time round
must be a bug they havn't quite worked out. Next time I'll do a fastboot flash instead for a low build number.
First time I flashed I tried it from a battery pull through HBOOT and it still hung. Reflash to 3.5 and then back to 5.0 fixed it like you guys

try just reflashing version 5 I had the same problem,but rebooted the phone reflashed version 5 from the rom manager and now is all good
I just sent the dev a comment about it on his Google+
maybe he'll have a fix out soon
Nice one, seems a "double flash" fixes it have just tested 3 or 4 times,seems to be working
yessir, seems to me that if it's a bug its really minor. I can see this being a problem if someone accidentally screws up something on their phone right after flashing the recovery, but not very likely and they'd still be able to reflash through fastboot
Seemed to flash the new version ok. But then, when trying to boot into recovery for the first time, the phone hung on the HTC logo boot splash. Pulled battery, and booted into recovery ok after that.
that's interesting that some of you didn't hang after the battery pull while mine did. Maybe it depends which version we're upgrading from?
stuck at htc
hey i also had this problem and i can't get my g2 to boot up at all. It hangs at the htc screen. I don't know how to fix this issue as i was trying to restore a backup from recovery right after the update. i can't get into recovery or anything else...all i get is the htc screen. Any ideas how I can fix this?

-From Mr.Dutta via G+
I've just finished releasing updates to a bunch of devices to ClockworkMod Recovery 5.
Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partitions. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.
Please update to ROM Manager 4.4.0.3 or higher and try out the new recovery!
Troubleshooting:
Flashing issues: If a recovery does not flash properly, enable erase recovery in settings and try flashing it again. Recovery flashing can be finicky at times.
Bugs: Report them to me! You can always revert back to the older recovery too from within ROM Manager!
So far no issues here while playing around.
my issue is i can't get back to android at all now. i went into rom manager to restore a backup and was told there was an update, then it reflashed the recovery. When i tried to restore my backup it froze and i have not been able to get past the htc screen at all.

can you get into the HBOOT?
pull the battery, put it back in, hold the volume down button and then hit the power button. you should come to a white screen with some options
In the case you want to update your recovery using fastboot method, heres what you'll need:
CWM 5.0.0.1 for G2 (Vision)
HTC Sync drivers
ADB fastboot from Android SDK
Make sure your phone is all the way off by pulling the battery. Get into the HBOOT by holding down the volume down button and then hitting the power. use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select. Choose "FASTBOOT"
Rename the recovery that you downloaded from CWM to "recovery.img" and put it in your ADB and Fastboot folder
plug your phone into your computer and pull up a command line for your adb/tools/ or adb/platform-tools/ folder where you should have ADB and Fastboot.
under the command line type in:
fastboot devices
<list of devices>
If you do not see your device make sure the cable is plugged in and your drivers are installed. if still nothing try a different cable til you get it to be recognized by the computer.
Once it's recognized do:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when its done:
reboot
I flashed through ROM manager. On suggestion, I checked the box for "erase recovery - recovery will be erased prior to flashing". On first reboot to recovery it sticks at HTC screen. Pulling battery and vol. up+power then entering recovery the 2nd time works just fine.
Hope this helps.
I'm having a problem getting into my recovery. I have the D800. It started out I sideloaded cwr thru twrp. And it said it flashed fine. I selected to reboot back into recovery and got a fastboot error. So i tried just rebooting and couldnt get passed the splash image. So I did the whole flash stock firmware. And after i got done with that, I think I did the ota update, And I got my phone rerooted. But still no recovery, it loads to a black screen and my pc says I have to format drives from like u-z but one has a folder titled image with these files. I've tried adb pusing and flashy and nothin,.Please help
never mind I got it fixed I think. Please delete post
I didn't know what I was doing using the TWRP and I've formatted the entire device. Including my SDCard where my Roms and Backups were stored. So now my nexus is without an OS. This generally wouldn't be a problem since I can 'mount' the device in recovery mode and transfer a new Rom .zip to my sdcard and then flash it, however... now my phone won't go into recovery either. When I get in the Fastboot, select Recovery and hit Power, it shows the Google logo and just freezes. For good. So I'm unable to get into Recovery.
(Side note: for whatever reason, I haven't been able to get into Recovery using this method for a VERY long time. I end up having to use Rom Manager to get into Recovery, and it went into recovery every time doing that.)
Any help, please?
Hello, i have a problem with this device zenfone z00ed. When i turn on i saw the procedure of upgrade, but stuck ad 24%. So i try to go to recovery mode but not work, only in fastboot. I try to push recovery image or boot but i get error (seems is not signed). However i have a idea (maybe bad idea) i reset all with fastboot -w.
After it i try to turn on, but i have bootloop with logo asus. So i found the right recovery image, and i go to recovery for push via adb the file http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.73637138.1491728547.1480409858
But not work , so i copy the file into the microsd and the phone installed the firmware , after it i get the error : can't load invalid boot image
What can i do?
Flash the .43 recovery image then go to stock recovery and try to update from SD card the .44 version from your link.
And make sure your file isn't corrupted.
Thanks for reply. Well i try as you tell me. I used another microSD. So i downloaded the .43 on the web site. Put into the microSD and into the phone. Hard reset and installed the new update file. Reboot. ... Same problem. Hard reset. Same problem. I used another more old update zip from the website. Same problem. Maybe i Need to flash another file? Is strange that problem. The boot-loader isn unlock (however)
How did yout flash the recovery and boot image?
Recovery im sure..like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img...
However.. i follow another istruction to fastboot with twrp (not flash) so i unlocked the boot-loader. After if the phone reboot and automatically works. For now.
Atleast you can use your phone now
Use adb sideload via asus recovery
so I made a really bad dumb mistake, I flashed over a perfectly good twrp to try a cwm recovery out, and I did so after installing a linage rom not even sure one exactly but I remember reading something about "insecure adb" or something?..anyway, all was ok until the needless recovery flash, reboot after yielded no o/s and worse no recovery partition at all, it just boots straight back to trying to boot recovery, followed by the endless bootloop, I can boot download manually, but now my pc will not recognize the phone at all no matter what I do nothing changes just not recognized. my adb setup was working great I flashed the broken recovery with adb so can someone please offer me a clue as to where to go now cause I'm out of ideas. MANY THANKS for any and all help in advance.
Verizon phone ??
Try Verizon forum .
CWM well out of date and usage now .
I would start by flashing stock rom via Odin .
